The One Game

The One Game is a fourpart 1988 British television drama serial, produced by Central Independent Television and broadcast on ITV fromJune toJune 1988. Set and filmed in Birmingham, it starred Patrick Malahide, Stephen Dillane credited as Stephen Dillon, Pippa Haywood and Kate McKenzie, and was written by John Brown from a concept by Tony Benet.

Filming took place in the winter of 19878. The production aimed at a surreal rather than a fantasy atmosphere, with an emphasis of only including narrative elements which could occur in real life. Writer John Brown worked an Arthurian theme into his scripts, with the idea that the story was about what would happen ifwith Nick and Magnus as Arthur and Merlin, respectively images such as a knife thrown into water, and a womans hand rising from a lake, were likewise based on the legend of Excalibur. The theme song, Saylon Dola, and other incidental music by series composer Nigel Hess built on the use of Celtic mythology by incorporating Welshsounding gibberish. ........
